Import Tips
• Photograph bent shaft angle (typically 10-14°) to prove specialized canoe design during customs review
• Declare exact weight and dimensions; oversize paddles (>60" length) may trigger additional handling fees
• Avoid leather grips; even minor non-wood components can trigger different classification considerations
